[Samba] Creating a machine account manually (EMC, Samba PDC)

Greetings,
I am trying to join a EMC Celerra NS502 CIFS server to our Samba
3.0.21a domain controller. According to EMC, I was told that we need to
manually create the machine account first. How is the best way to do this?
We are using an openLDAP backend, using the idealx scripts. Joining a
windows machine from the computer properties dialog of that machine works
perfectly.
